Could return after groin discomfort
Cunha left the weekend's match against Chelsea due to a groin issue, but the team is hoping to have available for the upcoming meeting with Brentford, Rob Dawson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Cunha scored the winning goal before being forced to leave the pitch last Saturday, and he would likely remain one of the team's top attacking options if fully healthy. The forward has taken multiple shots in six consecutive league games, notching two goals during that period. However, if the fitness issue prevents him from seeing his usual action, Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee would be viable alternatives.
Scores lone goal of match
Cunha scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 25th minute.
Analysis: Cunha came up with the game-winning goal Saturday as he was the lone player to find the back of the net, scoring in the 43rd minute. This would come off of two shots, a decently clinical game, as he earned an eighth goal this season. He now has two goals in their past four appearances, with 10 goal contributions in 30 appearances this season.
